Route security is nothing new in history, notwithstanding the bright shiny small drones that threaten units behind the lines today.
Why Army logistics need to think like combat units to survive drones:
For the first time since World War II, U.S. Army logisticians must contemplate a grim future where supply units no longer have the luxury of assuming that the Air Force can shield them from aerial threats. Nor that being behind the front lines will keep them safe from enemy bombardment.
While it wasn't due to enemy aerial threats, the Army had to do that in Iraq. Recall too the flying IEDs in Iraq that were proto-suicide drones. And really, that problem is nothing new even with aerial supremacy.
Hell, Army combat units need to think more this way.
